[ManevilleF]

Quite a big release, a lot of fixes, new features, and unfortunately a lot of breaking changes !

If you have any trouble migrating from previous version, please let me know and I'll do whatever I can to clarify the changes and help with the migration.

Changelog

• Removed methods deprecated in previous versions
• Added z field in the Debug impl of Hex (Feat/new directions #156)
• Added xyz fields in the Debug impl of directions (Feat/new directions #156)
• (BREAKING) Hex neighbors are now following a clockwise order (Follow up fixes and improvements to new directions #157)
• (BREAKING) Hex diagonal neighbors are now following a clockwise order (Follow up fixes and improvements to new directions #157)
• Added new hex_area example (Follow up fixes and improvements to new directions #157)
• Removed deprecated ser_de feature, use serde instead

New grid utilities (#154)

• Added new grid feature gate
• Added GridVertex and GridEgde types, representing oriented grid vertices
  and edges

New directions (#156, #157)

• (BREAKING) Hex edge and diagonal neighbors are now following a clockwise order
• (BREAKING) Direction types are now following a clockwise order
• (BREAKING) Renamed Direction to EdgeDirection, and is no longer an enum.
  Instead of the oriented variants use associated const values:
  • Direction::TopRight -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_TOP_RIGHT or EdgeDirection::POINTY_RIGHT
  • Direction::Top -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_TOP or EdgeDirection::POINTY_TOP_RIGHT
  • Direction::TopLeft -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_TOP_LEFT or EdgeDirection::POINTY_TOP_LEFT
  • Direction::BottomLeft -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_BOTTOM_LEFT or EdgeDirection::POINTY_LEFT
  • Direction::Bottom -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_BOTTOM or EdgeDirection::POINTY_BOTTOM_LEFT
  • Direction::BottomRight -> EdgeDirection::FLAT_BOTTOM_RIGHT or EdgeDirection::POINTY_BOTTOM_RIGHT
• (BREAKING) Renamed DiagonalDirection to VertexDirection, and is no
  longer an enum. Instead of the oriented variants use associated const values:
  • DiagonalDirection::Right -> VertexDirection::FLAT_RIGHT or VertexDirection::POINTY_BOTTOM_RIGHT
  • DiagonalDirection::TopRight -> VertexDirection::FLAT_TOP_RIGHT or VertexDirection::POINTY_TOP_RIGHT
  • DiagonalDirection::TopLeft -> VertexDirection::FLAT_TOP_LEFT or VertexDirection::POINTY_TOP
  • DiagonalDirection::Left -> VertexDirection::FLAT_LEFT or VertexDirection::POINTY_TOP_LEFT
  • DiagonalDirection::BottomLeft -> VertexDirection::FLAT_BOTTOM_LEFT or VertexDirection::POINTY_BOTTOM_LEFT
  • DiagonalDirection::BottomRight -> VertexDirection::FLAT_BOTTOM_RIGHT or VertexDirection::POINTY_BOTTOM
• Fixed angle inconsistencies in both direction types
• (BREAKING) Removed HexOrientation::direction_angle method

Mesh generation overhaul (#152)

• Added new MeshInfo methods:
  • with_scale
  • with_uv_scale
  • centroid
  • uv_centroid
• (BREAKING) Changed the way ColumnMeshBuilder generates quad to be consistent
  with hexagonal faces
• (BREAKING) Changed inner ColumnMeshBuilder fields, but the builder API was
  kept consistent
• Fixed the way ColumnMeshBuilder generate the hexagonal caps, which could behave
  strangely with non center aligned layout
• Added a mesh::utils modules for primitive shape management
• Added ColumnMeshBuilder::with_sides_uv_options_fn for block based options setting
• Added mesh insetting options:
  • ColumnMeshBuilder::with_caps_inset_options to inset the column hexagonal faces
  • ColumnMeshBuilder::with_sides_inset_options to inset the column side quads
  • PlaneMeshBuilder::with_inset_options to inset the hexagonal face
